2022-23 school year, 29 campuses were rated and did not include Frazier Elementary because the school did not open until the 2023-24 school year. The A-F accountability rating system was established in 2017 by the state legislature, and the first set of ratings was issued by the TEA in 2018, the release states. The score calculation method was updated for the 2022-23 school year. “What if” ratings, meaning what the district would have scored if the agency had not revamped rating guidelines, were also released for the 2021- 22 school year as a basis for comparison, and MISD received a “B” rating with a score of 85 out of 100. “While MISD understands the need for account- ability, we believe that comparisons to previous school years must be accurate and meaningful,” an email from MISD officials to parents and staff states.
The Texas Education Agency awarded McKin- ney ISD a “B” rating for the 2022-23 school year. The ratings were released April 24 after a two-year delay. The agency could not release the ratings sooner because of a lawsuit that included more than 50 districts. Local districts who joined the lawsuit included MISD, Frisco ISD, Prosper ISD, Richardson ISD and Dallas ISD. TEA is prevented from sharing more recent school ratings from the 2023-24 school year due to a separate, ongoing lawsuit. School performance ratings from the 2024-25 school year are scheduled to be issued in August.
